How to remove Antivirus.Net

Antivirus.Net is a rogue security product that pretends to find malicious code on a victim’s machine in order to frighten him or her into purchasing this useless application. It’s a member of the FakeSpyPro family of rogues.

I went to download VIPRE, and it tells me that it cannot download until it uninstalls Avast! Antivirus...I find this a suspicious action, enhanced by the fact that the mascot appears to be in fact, a viper, and given that vipers, snakes and serpents are traditionally untrustworthy creatures, at least according to certain mythologies.

You can not run more than one antivirus product at a time. Your machine will get real slow and sometimes even blue screen. You do not have to use VIPRE, keep using Avast. Unfortunately Avast will not remove this rogue.

Hello, I tried your above VIPRE Rescue plan~ and so... it worked the way you said it would, but just to clearify and be sure, now that I'm done scanning, does the Rescue also removes Antivirus.net the moment it detects it? or do I still have to download more of your programs to remove it?

Clean your PC now

VIPRE install will begin momentarily after clicking above image.
